[QUOTE="Sportello, post: 2000280, member: 55299"] President Obama certainly did say that we have contained ISIL. Here is the exact exchange, and what he said then bears out as true today, they have been contained geographically and losing territory. [I][B]Stephanopoulos:[/B] "And that's the strategy you've been following. But ISIS is gaining strength, aren't they?" [B]Obama: [/B]"Well, no, I don't think they're gaining strength. [B]What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain, and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq. And in Syria they'll come in, they'll leave. But you don't see this systematic march by ISIL across the terrain.[/B] What we have not yet been able to do is to completely decapitate their command and control structures. We've made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters."[/I] Did you take it to mean that 'Odumbo' can now contain an ideology? That would be pretty odumbo of you ;) Politifact for those who fall for librul media lies: [URL]http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/nov/15/ben-rhodes/what-barack-obama-said-about-isis-being-contained/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
